"After your birthday last time, your uncle and aunt sent over all your past birthday presents." The speaker was Xiao Jian, who was standing opposite Xiao Yanzi. They were currently at a branch of Xiao Yanlou.
"This is the bell I'm going to give you when you turn one. If you need help, just ring this bell." Qing'er picked up a bell and handed it to Xiao Yanzi to look at.
"This is the bracelet I gave you when you were two years old."
"This is a longevity lock that I gave you when you were three years old."
"This is a calligraphy brush I gave you when you were four years old."
"This is the jade pendant I gave you when you were five years old."
The other members of the Shufangzhai family introduced the birthday gifts to Xiaoyanzi, which made her shed a lot of tears again.
"What's wrong with you guys? Do you just love making me cry?"
Yongqi wiped away Xiaoyanzi's tears and explained, "Last time it was your birthday, we couldn't prepare too many things. We wanted to give you a gift, but we had to think about it for a long time. Now, your uncle and aunt have made up for all the gifts you missed. We just hope that you remember that no matter what, we are all here for you, and you will never be alone!"
"That's enough with the sentimental talk about gifts. Now let's enjoy the feast we all prepared together." Benjamin brought the dishes to the table and explained, "These ingredients were purchased by Yongqi from Great Britain a long time ago."
Little Swallow laughed and said, "So, today's meal is a fusion of Chinese and Western cuisine."
Looking at the Chinese and Western food on the table, Xia Ziwei smiled and said, "Today is really thanks to Xiao Yanzi."
After everyone had a hearty meal, they strolled around the courtyard.
Xiao Yanzi and Yongqi walked at the front. Xiao Yanzi looked at a tower not far away and asked curiously, "Brother, what is that tower used for?"
"Those who have made mistakes must go to the tower to be punished!"
"Those who wish to improve their martial arts skills can also enter the tower to train."
"Of course, there are also some challenges related to common literary knowledge..."
Little Swallow's hands were itching to try it out. "Now that you mention it, I want to go in and give it a shot too."
Xiao Jian smiled and nodded, "Of course you can. Where are the rest of you?"
Fu Ertai and Saiya were naturally the first to withdraw, after all, Saiya was pregnant.
Xia Ziwei didn't pursue her interests and naturally didn't participate, so Fu Erkang naturally followed his wife's lead.
Xiao Jian then looked at Qing'er, "Qing'er, would you like to go in and take a look?"
Qing'er nodded, "I want to go too."
So the four of them went into the tower.
As Xiao Jian walked, he explained, "The innermost room is where the punishment takes place."
"The training rooms are on the left and right sides."
"Place the quiet area on one side and the noisier area on the other."
"Little Swallow, which one do you want to challenge first?"
Little Swallow saw a sign hanging outside a room that read "Eliminate Words".
"Brother, what does that mean?"
"Here's a picture. Can you tell what words are depicted in it?"
Little Swallow found it interesting and wanted to go inside to take a look. "Yongqi, let's go in and have a look."
"This first picture is..." Little Swallow looked at it for a while before finally giving the answer, "Is this a frog in a well?"
Little Swallow couldn't help but complain, "The drawing is really... awful, it's not even as good as Yongqi's."
"Is this like marking the boat to find the sword?" Little Swallow looked at the second painting. There was a boat in the painting, and a person on it was making marks on the boat. There was a sword under the boat.
Little Swallow looked at several paintings and felt they weren't too difficult, so she decided to go up.
As soon as they reached the second floor, a fragrance wafted into Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi's noses. Xiaoyanzi frowned and asked, "What kind of fragrance is this? I've never smelled it before."
Xiao Jian laughed and said, "There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. You're not a spice expert, so how would you know so much..."
"This fragrance can make you dream, dream of the person you want most, and the things you most want to happen." As soon as these words were spoken, all four people collapsed to the ground.
The woman who came out saw the four men and was stunned for a moment. "They've already collapsed? It seems their desires were quite strong."
"Someone, take them to their rooms in pairs and let them enjoy their dream."
Qing'er's dream is that she grew up under the loving care of her parents, and later met Xiao Jian, the love of her life, with whom she was destined to be together. She had two children and lived a happy and peaceful life.
Xiao Yanzi's dream is that she grows up under the love of her parents and brother, grows up with Yongqi as childhood sweethearts, and faces the storms of the court and acts chivalrously with Yongqi in the martial arts world!
Xiao Jian and Yong Qi had similar dreams: they both hoped their parents would be well, accept their loved ones, and that they would eventually become a couple and live a blissful life together.
However, these two men, of course, didn't just dream about those things; they also dreamed about some rather embarrassing scenes.
When Xiao Yanzi and Qing'er woke up and discovered the state of their respective partners, they were both speechless.
Little Swallow patted Yongqi awake, "Yongqi, wake up, wake up quickly..."
Finally, Yongqi was woken up by Xiaoyanzi. He looked at Xiaoyanzi with regret, "I was so close to going in..."
"...What nonsense are you talking about?" Little Swallow's face turned bright red instantly. How could he say such a thing?
“I wasn’t lying, so when can I…” Yongqi’s hand had already touched Xiaoyanzi’s waist, “I can today…”
Before Yongqi could finish speaking, Xiaoyanzi interrupted, "What are you thinking about? I still need to go up and see what else is there. I definitely won't have the strength by then..."
“You don’t have to exert any effort…” Yongqi smiled, “I’ll do the work!”
Little Swallow glared at him, "Don't think about these things!"
They left the room, and Xiao Jian and Qing'er were about the same. All four of them were a little embarrassed. Xiao Yanzi broke the awkward atmosphere, "Well, let's go upstairs and take another look."
Further up, you'll see training footage of two-on-one matches.
Little Swallow exclaimed happily, "This is exactly what I wanted to see!"
"Yongqi, come on, let's have a fight."
Yongqi stared at Xiaoyanzi in utter bewilderment. "What? Fight with you?"
Little Swallow nodded, "Of course, hurry up!"
"But it's a deal, no holding back, you have to show your true skills!"
"Okay." Yongqi couldn't hold back, nor dared he, so he had no choice but to fight Xiaoyanzi seriously.
However, Yongqi stared at his belt that had been pulled away, remaining silent. "Little Swallow, is this one of your tricks?"
Little Swallow raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll only use this trick on you!"
After all, she would use a whip to remove the belts of others, but when it came to Yongqi, she would personally tear them off!
Yongqi was truly exasperated with Xiaoyanzi. In a fight, she actually tried to rip off someone's clothes, shouting, "Xiaoyanzi, I'm going to take yours off too!"
Little Swallow said smugly, "If you can do that, I'll let you do whatever you want with me!"
Anyway, there are only the two of them in this room, so even if they really took off all their clothes, no outsiders would see them!
Yongqi's outer robe was ripped off by Xiaoyanzi. "Looks like you'll be stripped naked first..."
"That's not necessarily true!" Yongqi grinned slyly, and successfully removed Xiaoyanzi's clothes. "How about it?"
